Noteworthy cases

Calls for removal from supreme court position

Republican mayoral candidate and state Assemblywoman Nicole Malliotakis and the Patrolmen's Benevolent Association called for Baily-Schiffman to be removed from her position as an acting supreme court justice after she released four men without bail on July 9, 2017. Kurdel Emmanuel, one of the men Baily-Schiffman released, was in custody for allegedly attempting to take a police officer's gun at a Bushwick precinct. Another of the men, Derrick Gadson, allegedly threatened a nun at a Prospect Heights church. The other two, Bernard Szurant and Rudolph Evmenenko, allegedly shouted racial slurs at a Trinidadian man and threatened to lynch him.[2][3]

Malliotakis described Baily-Schiffman as "a threat to the men and women of the NYPD and to the citizens of our city."[4] She said, "I call on Chief Administrative Judge Lawrence K. Marks to remove Judge Loren Baily-Schiffman from criminal court and demote her to the civil court position she was elected to. I also call on Mayor Bill de Blasio to show leadership and do the same."[4] De Blasio spokesman Austin Finan said, "Judge Baily-Schiffman’s decision was dangerous and unacceptable. These cases deserve to be heard by seasoned criminal court judges with the authority to consider dangerousness in setting bail amounts."[2]

Lucian Chalfen, a representative for the state's courts, said, "A judge has broad discretion when deciding to set bail or bond. In these instances, the judge made her decisions based on the facts and circumstances of the respective cases as she saw them."[2]
